Super Science Students

Whitaker students are excited about learning science! Their teachers are bringing the Next Generation Science Standards to life by taking science lessons outside of the classroom! First graders were treated to a presentation from Inside the Outdoors Traveling Naturalists. Scientists came to Whitaker with live animals to let first graders see, hear, and touch science. They experienced habitats, adaptations, and what animals eat. Fifth graders enjoyed a field trip to Rancho Sonado in the Santa Ana mountains on a beautiful fall day to learn science outdoors. Fifth graders studied different ecosystems, the water cycle, and living and non-living parts of ecosystems. Thanks Whitaker teachers, for making learning come alive everyday!
